Iran Secretly Assures U.S. It Won't Seek to Kill Trump, Wall Street Journal Reports
Nov 15, 2024, 11:52 AM
Iran provided written assurances to the United States on October 14 that it is not seeking to assassinate former President Donald Trump, according to U.S. officials cited by the Wall Street Journal on Friday. The secret exchange, which was not signed by a specific Iranian official, came in response to a U.S. warning issued in September that any attempt on Trump's life would be treated as an act of war. The Biden administration sought the assurances to cool tensions between Tehran and Washington as Trump prepares for a potential return to the White House. The communication follows recent disclosures by the U.S. Department of Justice of Iranian plots to target Trump and other Americans.
